Awarded Microsoft MVP in a row

Its new years eve. I was struck in traffic to join a Birthday party of one of my friend. Its all of a sudden I realized that it is my MVP renewal date too. I forgot it totally.

I opened my Mobile, browsed to my account and saw, I have got a mail from MVP Award Team.

First day experience with MVP Open Days

After not being talked for long, you might be thinking what will be coming next as article. Well, there are still quite a few topics in mind and some of few I have already started working, and will  be soon be coming to my blog; but for  now I am now very much excited to share what is happening with me in Microsoft MVP Open days I am here in Hydrabad with you, and I am sure you will also enjoy reading it.

So if you only want to look for some technical ones, I would recommend you to select some other post on the website which are entirely suit you. If you are in a mood to relax, you can go on reading this post and enjoy.

What is MVP Open Days ?

Being an MVP is always a great achievelt to me. The first day I got the notification that I got MVP I wonder what would be the benefits that I will get after being an MVP. Being an MVP is not only one of the prestigious award that one can get working on Microsoft technologies, it is something more. You get special previledges from microsoft to get in touch with product teams, you get all the microsoft softwares for free and also you are invited to some of the global events that microsoft is organizing. Well, you can say MVP Open Days is one of such an event. In MVP open days we have been invited to take part of discussions on very recent ideas of what Microsoft is going to do (dont ask me about it as its under NDA) but also has a chance to networking with some of the peoples whom you would have admired from the early days of your career. Being a part of this elite group, I cannot miss this opportunity to come to hyderabad and move on with the event.

Microsoft Tech Ed 2011 - 3 Days to Remember

Its already tuesday night to write a blog about last weeks Tech Ed 2011, but I remember each and every moment of the event so much. Microsoft Tech Ed is free for us (MVP) but paid for rest of the people. If you missed out this, you might like reading this post about it. In this post, I will cover some of the interesting facts points that TechEd showed us.

1. Connect

Tech Ed is a place where we connect with people. Being an Microsoft MVP, it is important for me to get in touch with other MVP's so that I could know the people who are experts in their respective field of interests. I am a bit nervous on the first day when I visited the Venue. Nice to see there is a special registration stall available only for us.

Proud to be a Microsoft MVP in Client App Dev on Jan 2011

Hi Friends,

First of all Happy New Year 2011 to everybody.

Its been a long journey to the technical world. I have always tried to sharpen my knowledge as time progresses and also wanted you to know more about technology. I am very much inclined towards technology and in love with .NET products.

January 1st, 2011 is been the most eventful day in my life.  I got a mail from Microsoft, that I have been selected as Microsoft "Most Valuable Professional" in "Client Application Development". Its like a dream come true and is my biggest award of life. Its priceless.
